Where are all these people saying that because Florence is subbing Glasto she is probably going to headline R&L next year?

I don't understand why people are using it to justify Foals subbing somewhere then headlining R+L the year after though. For starters, we don't know if Flo is headlining anywhere next year and secondly it's completely down to the act and/or their management.

Searched Florence and FATM and only found one post saying that will headline because she is subbing at any festival. Anyway I want to be clear that I do think Florence can headline R&L next year and she could have headline festivals this year at a push (thought she was going to headline T at one point this year) but it isn't like she couldn't have headline in 2016 without that sub spot at Glasto. To summarise I'm an idiot and I'm don't know what I'm talking about really.

For thirds, Flo's commercial standing blows Foals' out of the water. Edited June 4, 2015 by Zac Quinn

Nah fam not Royal Blood and Foals in the same year.

Fine, replace one of them with Fall Out Boy or something

That just makes it worse

Fair point, I don't by any means think you have to sub Glasto to be considered R&L headline worthy. I think she could've done it this year imo. Just think it does help raising profile and theres loads of potential R&L goers who will watch Glasto and want to see some of those acts play R&L as a result. The number of people wanting to see Florence at R&L would increase after a high profile set at Glasto and I think for Foals to move up to becoming headliners that impact of a high up set at Glasto would help them out alot but of course it's not essential.

That was the intention

Just keep Royal Blood

Alright, just a huge misunderstanding on my part then as I agree with that

Yeah I wanted to say something like the following in my post but didn't know how to word it.

I think it's natural to see acts doing the same as other acts, and therefore it's natural to picture Foals doing what Flo has done, and sub Glasto on their comeback, before presumably going on to get headline slots the next year. In reality, when you think about it properly, there are so many other factors that make this is too simplistic a way to view it.

It's like when making an R&L prediction, you might see a certain act has played one position the year before, and try to predict a similar act to take the same slot the next year. Happened with Macklemore and Kendrick, but often it doesn't happen.

Not sure I've explained it very well. As I said, didn't know how to put it really.

Co-headline Klaxon!

Nah, but in all seriousness if I was going to do a prediction for 2017 it would be Royal Blood - Kasabian - Foals but that really doesn't look right give that there's 3 English acts; there's usually always at least 1 non-british headliner.

That trio seems a little bit too NME-ey but it's not like they've never gone for that before: Arctics - Kings of Leon - Radiohead so I guess that doesn't really matter but anyway.

I'd say that 2017 will definitely be Kasabian AND Royal Blood or Foals with an American headliner flung in there I will now a list all the potentials.

Paramore- coming back to headline in their own right and a little less "NME", a little more "Kerrang"; but 2017's probably too soon.

Imagine Dragons - possible but it'd be the worst headliner they'd ever booked and also they'd be just as ''new'' as Foals and Royal Blood so it'd be pointless so let's rule them out and never mention them in this thread again.

Jack White - back on the circuit by I'd have thought. He'd be ''new'' to R&L but not to headlining. I'd be game.

My Chemical Romance - presuming they've reformed.

Presuming they're still relevant: Kings Of Leon, Green Day, The Killers, Arcade Fire (please), Linkin Park.

Curveballin': Kanye West, Daft Punk, Kendrick???

anyway, yeah, sorry to go on,

also say for example patterns did exist we'd be due a co-headline situation in 2017... so Kasabian - Royal Blood / Foals - one of the above.

what fucking pattern is that

[dentalplan]

That's not relevant to my point. You just wanted to say that, didn't you?

[conroy17]

what fucking pattern is that

2011 - co headliner

2012 - none

2013 - none

2014 - co headliner

2015 - none

2016 - none (probably)

2017 - co headliner?

I don't actually think there'll be a co-headliner in 2017.

[thewayiam]

I'm not disputing R&L want Foals to get to headline, what I'm disputing i show soon they will do it. If Flo doesn't headline next year and Foals do the world's gone crazy as the difference between them both is staggering. I know this isn't the point here but regardless of whether I'll watch them or not, or that the position doesn't seem to bother them, I personally think Flo at Glasto maybe the booking of the festival circuit.

[conroy17]

Apparently Melvin said he wanted to book her this year but couldn't so you'd presume he'll try again next year and considering she subbed last time out she'd headline R&L on return; for me personally Flo subbing Glasto is barely relevant to her headlining R&L in 2016.

[kingcrawler]

Foals album will probably come out this year and I guess they'll have done a tour before the festivals so the album will have had plenty of time to take off. Subbing Glastonbury after that might make the idea of them being headliners look a bit weak.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

That's not relevant to my point. You just wanted to say that, didn't you?

Yes

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Presuming they're still relevant: Kings Of Leon, Green Day, The Killers, Arcade Fire (please), Linkin Park.

Only one of these acts is relevant in 2015 never mind two years further down the line lmao.

[Gucci Piggy]

Kasabian, RHCP and Royal Blood and/or Foals imo.

This is an awful discussion.

[Andre91]

2017: Royal Blood, Kasabian, System Of A Down.

[tyranicide]

2016: Foo Fighters, F&TM, The Prodigy

2017: Kasabian, Royal Blood, Slipknot

[DomDom1984]

I'm not buying Kasabian as being around next summer, and if they are, I'd imagine it'd be their own shows.

[Andre91]

The 1975 tickets have sold out pretty much everywhere in under two minutes. I managed to get tickets for Doncaster though

[Cammers]

Managed to get Rock City tickets!

I reckon they will be around 3rd down on main next year, no matter how much people on here hate the thought of that, they are becoming very popular and their second album will undoubtedly have a couple of charting singles on it.
